265.] Metaphysics etc.: Svetambara works Reference.--In Mitra's Notices (Vol. X, p. 31) there is mention of
this text. In Jinarainakośa (Vol. I, p. 51 ) several Mss. are noted but here the text is named as 39TATTFIT. In the Limbdi Catalogue No. 328, a Ms. styled as 34CETTATGT59 and having 25 verses in Prakrit is noted. The author is not mentioned there. So it remains to be ascertained whether it is the same work as the text given here. For a work having the title Upadeśaratnamāla see Peterson, Reports I, pp. 57, 63 and 83.
